Just got this in and have used it for a couple practices now. First off, this is NOT the original prophecy. That loader that you were afraid to dive with for fear of snapping the feedneck? Forget about it amigos. This thing is a tank, and holds up just as well as a rotor from what I've seen. I love that it is now a slightly force-fed loader as well. It holds a very solid amount of paint and loading it on and off the field is incredibly easy. My favorite thing about this loader is that you can flip up a speedfeed to make loading bags of paint much easier. With the rotor, you have to jam it in through the speedfeed. With all that in mind, I think the rotor is still easier to take apart. However, I'd take the z2 over the rotor, as of right now.

I've been quite pleased with the new update to the prophecy. The Z2 is a great loader. The eye logic is quite good. I haven't noticed a single jam or hiccup in loading.

I do wish the shells could be made in a smoke color as I do prefer being able to see through the shells to see the amount of paint left. However, the reinforced nylon shells are a good trade off.

I like this loader more then anyone on the market. I like the fact that it wont jam at all. I used it in 3 events and a ton of practices and have never had it jam. The loader will bounce a little when its on your gun and it does seem a little flimsy when you first take it out of the box, but the loader is built well and the batteries are easier to get to then other loaders on the market

Best loader in paintball. It just spews paint. Automatically clears jams very well, to the point you don't even notice unless you watch the rip drive. Durable construction.

In order to get a loader which is comparably fast, reliable, gentle on paint, with an automatic anti-jam feature, you would have to buy a Rotor ($200), Virtue Arm ($25), and SEED RTR Kit ($90).

Rotor still has better marginally construction, but they took all the strengths of the original Proph, and fixed the weaknesses, made it easier to work on, and sized it up to directly compete with the Rotor at a cheaper pricepoint. Unreal loader, and I've used them all.

Empire Prophecy Z2 Loader Compared top the Prophecy the Z2 is way lighter. I love how you can take the nose cone off while the Z2 is still on the gun. It helps when you break paint in your hopper

The empire z2 is an awsome lightweight loader that will outperform all other loaders in every aspect . The shell is very durable and lightweight . The batterys will last for months on end. Also the auto unjam feature is remarkable I have used all sorts of paint both big and small as well as crappy and high end . The z2 never faltered

Empire Prophecy Z2 Loader The loader is extremely lightweight, looks great, and has a SMALL profile. However some of the Z2's I have owned had significant jamming issues. All in all I rate it about a 7.5/10.

Pros: Fixed all the problems of the old Prophecy!

Love my new Z2! It is great to see they fixed the only 2 issues I had with the old one, they really have improved it to perfection! No jams, I love the forward and back buttons and the wheel is great too for when needed!

My only real complaint is they are now making it out of the Rotor material, so no more clear backs. I really REALLY likes the old colored backs you could see into for visual of how much paint you have AS you were shooting.

They fixed the assembly issue, so you can now take the nose cone and sides off just as fast as a rotor!

Another GREAT feature that the rotor can NOT compete with: You can swap lide in SECONDS on the Z2! Rotor: no way! Literally pop the nose off, swap lids, nose back on and you are done.

I bet all the Rotor guys were wishing they had a Z2 at Galveston 2012!!!!!

This hopper is amazing. Empire took an already outstanding design, corrected the few flaws that had been pointed out, used a better material, and made it a little sleeker looking.
If you read my review on the prophecy, you know the only downsides in my opinion were the power switch, and reassembling the hopper.
The power switch is the same, but the guards on either side prevent all the problems with the older model prophecy.
The newly designed body comes apart much easier, and reassembles perfectly every time.

If you've got the cash, I'd reccomend this hopper to any level of player.
